I received compliments all night long on this dress. It felt wonderfully glamorous with a vintage movie star flare. The boning and padding meant I needed no additional support and although the fabric over the shoulder really didn't hold anything up, it gave me the peace of mind that the bodice couldn't go too far. This dress is absolutely on my short list to rent again!

Got compliments on the dress all night!

The dress was absolutely stunning, and I felt amazing in it. It does run small, I had to go with the 6R, and the last dress I rented was a 2R, but I've found Monique Lhullier in general runs small. There's a built in lined bra- type deal that means you don't have to wear a bra, but you can wear a strapless. I did. This dress may not work for larger chested ladies...the bodice is VERY fitted, and I'm very small up top. It was very comfortable to wear, and my boyfriend of many years couldn't stop telling me I looked beautiful, so I'd rent this dress again and again!!

Gorgeous - but too small across ribcage/bust

I loved this dress and was disappointed that it didn't quite fit (and my larger backup size turned out to be unavailable). It's dramatic - fun full skirt, beautiful tulle layers. The fabric does not stretch. I don't think you'd need a bra with it - it does have a shelf bra - but it's designed to compress, not amplify. I would size up for a backup size. I normally wear an 8L and the 10L would have been the right size. I would rent again in the larger size!

The dress was a bit big in the hips and I had to wear shorter heels than expected but overall it looked gorgeous.

Gorgeous dress. Received many compliments. Pictures don't do it justice.

I ordered sizes 6 and 8 in this dress for a wedding. I'm a 34D and wasn't sure if the dress would fit since the 6 was pretty snug in the chest area but fit everywhere else and I was swimming in the size 8. I wound up wearing the size 6 and had no trouble breathing in it at all. And even though I'm busty, the tulle in the front of the dress somewhat gives your cleavage a little coverage and makes this strapless dress very tasteful for a wedding. The only problem with the dress was that it was ripped on the side. Luckily and because I was determined to wear this dress, I was able to alter it and wear it to the event. I'm so glad that I did because I received so many compliments throughout the night! Also, even though I'm only 5'2, I was able to wear 3in heels without tripping over my dress, so my feet were comfortable all night long. (The tulle at the bottom seems to glide every time you take a step, so you won't have to worry about stepping on the dress.) I would definitely rent this again.

Red carpet worthy!

The dress was wonderful. I received many compliments. It was a little loose in my hips, and I might have been able to go down to a size 4, but as it was, it was very comfortable! Loved it! I can't wait to RTR again!

This dress is great for a formal wedding!

Despite a few of the reviews here saying this runs small, I thought the sizing was representative of what I normally wear. If you're on the short side, definitely go with the petite sizing! It's the main reason why I chose this dress over a more festive color (there weren't many options left since this event was sort of last-minute).

This dress was perfect for the FLOTUS look I was going for. I wore it to a black tie wedding.

I originally ordered an 8R and a 10R as a backup because I usually wear a size 8. The 10R fit better but was too short for a floor length gown. I rush ordered a 10L and that worked perfectly. If you have a larger chest, definitely order a size larger than what you typically wear.

I wore this to a black tie formal gala. It was perfect for the occasion.

I ordered a sz 6 and 8, and ended up wearing the larger size as the dress ran maybe a size smaller than your normal dress size. I'm very hippy so found the dress to fit my hips better in that area vs the top. Overall, received many compliments and the look was a classic one for a black tie wedding.

I typically wear a size 6 (ordered 8 for backup) in formal dresses and the 6 was spot on. The dress a little stretch and it was forgiving and flattering. The draping helps conceal any problem areas. I would rent this dress again!

I loved this dress!!

The pictures don't do this dress justice. It's beautiful in person. It made me feel so fancy! There was some stretch to it so it was forgiving and I felt so comfortable in it. Even in a petite it was still a little long for me with my 3 inch heels but not too long to be an issue. The lace on shoulder was a little big for me but also not noticeably so . I got lots of compliments on it and there wasn't anything else like it there.

Gorgeous, COMFORTABLE dress! Loved It!

Based on other reviews, I ordered a size 8L. I usually wear either a 6 or an 8; so to be safe, I went with the 8, and I am so glad I did. It was super comfortable and still had a enough structure to accentuate all of the right curves. I didn't NEED to wear Spanx with it (again bc it fit really well), but I did, just to give it a cleaner line. Only downfall to potentially "sizing up" was that the shoulder strap was too long...In other words, after zipping up the dress and making sure it fit around the bust properly, I had about 2 extra inches of fabric in the shoulder. So, I had to pull it down and tuck the extra fabric into the back of the dress/my bra strap. My only guess for this "issue" is that I am not that busty?!? Who knows. But once tucked, I had no problems with it (only minor re-tucks from my husband throughout the night), and I felt SO beautiful in this dress. I also loved that I didn't have to constantly pull the dress up, which was a slight concern when I ordered it (again bc I am not busty); it's so well made, with the right boning and "corset" in the bust, that it just worked. It's an effortless dress that is just gorgeous in person. I also think it photographs really well. I received a ton of compliments... I LOVED it and wish I could have kept it!
Also, definitely order the long if you are 5'9;" I only wore 1.5" heels and it was the perfect length ( a regular would have been too short).

Stunning dress!

I received many compliments throughout the night. It fit snuggly, but comfortably, in the hips. I'm usually a size 8 and ended up wearing the size 10. Love, love, love the one shoulder look. Like others have mentioned, the zipper was tricky to zip because of the material and I had some issues with the neckline folding over at the bust, which I didn't fill out so much. Such an elegant, memorable dress!

Bust is a tight fit if you have a larger chest (friend here is cup size C) making it flatter and spill into mesh area. Long size was a little short (friend is 5'10") so heals were out of the question.

Runs smaller in size I'm usually a size 8 and I used the size 10...... The zipper is a little difficult but other than that, it's a beautiful dress.

Gorgeous detail and silhouette!

This dress was so stunning in person--I received compliments all night at my friend's wedding. I am only 5'3" so almost everything is crazy long on me, but not this! Thank goodness I ordered the regular length in addition to the petite length, because my modest-length heels stuck way out of the bottom of the petite size!! The bodice seems to favor straight up-and-down silhouettes, because getting the zipper over my average (C) bust took THREE PEOPLE!!! But it fit like a glove when we got the fussy zipper up after all that work. Also, the zipper being on the same side as the shoulder piece made for crushing my freshly-done hair, which sucked, BUT when all was said and done, this dress was a show stopper. I would go through that whole struggle again just to wear it for a few minutes because it really was beautiful!

Beautiful and elegant dress - got many compliments. Fits really small on the top area!

I love the way this dress photographs - it looks darker in person. I received many compliments and felt very elegant all night. My only complaint is that the fit was great everywhere but in the chest area was really small (even though I don't have big boobs), so I couldn't wear a bra with it. If you are anything bigger than a B its definitely going to be very small!

Great black dress

I tried this dress on and loved it. I really did -- it fit all my curves and gave me a great shape. It wasn't extremely comfortable however due to the tight fit around the hips. Standing was fine but sitting wasn't as comfortable and since I was attending a Gala with a lot of sitting I didn't choose this dress. It really was pretty though, my husband loved it.

It was snug on hips and waist, but the 8P was way to big in bust, so I made the 6R work.

This was stunning. Not perfect, but stunning.

I wore this for a formal pearl-themed gala, and it was great. I loved the sheer overlay over the lace, and a sideswept bun on the opposite shoulder of the asymmetrical tulle was the perfect 'do to accentuate the dress. Some sparkly earrings and NO NECKLACE really made it pop. However, I'm pretty tall and curvy, and this dress, honestly, just wasn't made for my shape. I had to squeeze into it because I think the design is really made to give the illusion of curves to women who haven't got many, rather than being a great dress for women with curves. As other reviewers have said, it's very tight in the hips, and there is NO stretch. I rented the long, as I'm tall, and this was woefully short on me. I made just barely work by wearing shoes that I wanted to show off, but was disappointed by the inadequate length. Really, I wonder if a 14L would have been better... unfortunately RTR doesn't seem to stock enough of those sizes! In the end, it was a great dress and a great night.

I LOVED this dress. It was so beautiful and so flattering. Didn't want to take it off.

This dress was incredibly comfortable and beautiful. I had been worried about other post-ers reviews about the ribcage being too tight, but it was just fine if you didn't snap the snap :) I truly LOVED this dress. It felt good to wear. It was formal but not too fancy where you didn't look like yourself or it looked like you were trying too hard. I pinned the shoulder sash a bit tighter because after many uses, it needed a little more love (otherwise it bunched in some weird places or looked too loose) but all it took was one tiny safety pin and it was perfect! I'm 5'5 and wore 3 inch heels, the Regular length was perfect. If you are a bit bustier, the sheer black sash is perfect bc it hides the cleavage that the tighter ribcage bumps up, lol. Having the blach sash there helps keep the dress appropriate and mindful, while still being a big sexy.
Huge 2 thumbs up. I may rent it again for my holiday party!

My handsome date and the dress (duh)! :)

The fit was great! The top is a little small as it says in other reviews, but I was able to wear my true size. I'm usually between a 4 and a 6 and wore the 6 because there is no stretch and tight around the hips. I am 5'7.5" and wore the 6R with 1.5" heels and the length was perfect. There is a lot of fabric on the dress so I wouldn't recommend wearing it somewhere where it's going to be very hot. For the tight shape, the dress is very comfortable! I got a lot of complements on the dress and had a great time wearing it!

Was first choice, but didn't end up wearing

I was really sad when trying this dress on because I was so excited to wear it to the Marine Corps ball, but it didn't live up to my expectations. The top seam kept flipping up and I'd have to keep tucking it back under so it wouldn't show under the mesh chest part. I knew that it would annoy me during the ball so I didn't wear it. I'm not sure if this is only an issue for women with small chests or what, but it did it with both sizes I had ordered. Shout out to the incredible customer service who worked with me to get a replacement (of my choice) the morning of the ball! They even sent me 2 sizes of the replacement to make absolutely sure it would work.

I received so many compliments.

This gown is absolutely amazing!!! I rented the 8R and 10R. I think I actually could have gone wth the 6R for this particular gown. I usually wear anywhere from 6 - 10 but 8 is my usual size. The heels I wore were probably about 4 inches and the dress hit the floor like the model in the pictur. I'm a curvy girl and this dress is great for those of us with a small waist and curvy hips. You can go without a bra, but I did wear a strapless bra because the chest was a little big for me. I'm a 34C. I wish I had a photo to share. I will definitely rent this gown again.

Best gown that I've rented yet from RTR

This dress didn't have my normal size which is an 8L. That size would've fit me perfectly but I had to settle for the 10L. It was roomy in the body and hips but was perfect in the bust...I'm a 36C. The dress has beautiful details and is a classic dress with a few modern surprises. The lace underlay adds a touch of elegance and the asymmetrical tulle portion added drama. For anyone over 5'8" definitely get a long. You won't be disappointed with this dress.

I got constant feedback about how beautiful the dress was & how complimentary to my shape it was.

pros: flattering for shape. because of all the texture from the outer chiffon layer, it is very forgiving to the midsection. very unique looking, no one at the wedding had anything quite like it.
cons: be careful if the dress is long. there is a thin and delicate chiffon outer layer that I stepped on a lot and it could rip SO easily.
notes: This might run small. I normally wear a 2. However, the 4L fit perfectly. A 2 would definitely not have fit. If you get a 4 and have a chest size of D or larger be prepared to not wear a bra and not to take deep breaths all night ; ) Also, I wore 4.5" heals which was made the dress length perfect!

This was my 2nd time renting this dress.
I rented the 12L two years ago it fit perfectly. I just rented the 10L this past weekend (since I've lost a little weight) and it fit just as good as I remembered from last time. Wore my 4 inch Louboutins and it was the perfect length :)

Dozens of compliments from attendees who dressed to the nine's. Very comfortable and easy to style.

Tight in chest made me size up. Which meant loose on the waist and rear. NO stretch in this dress.
I'm 5' 7 1/2" wore 3 inch heels and thought it could have been a tad long on me. But I bet the regular would have been short.

This was a great dress! I felt super sexy, and got several compliments!

The dress was tad tight at the top, which cut in. But I think the next size up would have been too big. Other than that it fit like a glove.
